>> announcer: tonight on "jimmy kimmel live," 82-year-old great-grandmother bella puts it all on the line against reigning 14-year-old champ traverse, whose braces came off three weeks ago, and whose gloves come off tonight. a battle of the ages in "generation gap!" >> i'm going to whip your bottom, little boy. >> mom? >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, kaley cuoco, from "abc world news tonight," david muir, and music from the xx. and now, moving on -- here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: hi, there, how are you doing? that's very nice. hi, everyone. welcome. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. you know, i walk out here every night and i introduce myself for people watching who are drunk or have never seen the show. but i had a funny thing happen last night. delivery guy comes to my door, he hands me a bag of food. i eat my food out of a bag like a horse. and he sees me and goes, hey, you're the guy from the tv show. i said, yeah. he said, johnny carson! [ laughter ] yep, johnny carson. then he left. you know, i do sometimes get confused with the host of "the tonight show" but it's usually jimmy fallon because we have the same first name, and because he's alive. [ laughter ] speaking of deliveries, congratulations are in order for khloe kardashian who reportedly has a baby

the father of the baby -- that's where they go, i guess. [ laughter ] is said to be her boyfriend, tristan thompson of the cleveland cavaliers. khloe isn't the only one in the family expecting. her younger sister kylie is pregnant, her older sister kim is having a baby with a surrogate. it's interesting, right? three major hurricanes this the month. [ laughter ] three new kardashians. there has to be a connection. of course no one is more excited than grandma kris jenner. [ applause ] who is about to sign three new clients. [ laughter ] you know, i have to say, trying to keep up with president trump every day has made me appreciate how easy it was to keep up with the kardashians. [ laughter ] i mean, they get married, they break up, they find a new rapper or basketball player, they have a kid, they post it to instagram. it's very straightforward. not only are the kardashian/jenners excited about the arrival of the new children, they're also excited about their new show. >> for ten years you've been

>> i do my makeup so fast, i'm just not feeling myself. >> your lips look amazing. >> you watched courtney and kim take miami. then courtney and kim take new york. life i kylie. revenge body with khloe kardashian. now executive producer ryan seacrest brings you just what you've been expecting. >> it's so hot in here! >> "peeking up the kardashians." >> i literally can't even. omg, i already have 4 million instagram followers. >> the first show shot in utero. >> bdoes this umbilical cord mae me look fat? >> on e! following "the real zygotes of new jersey." >> jimmy: i'd watch both of those. [ cheers and applause ] time goes so fast, before you know it they'll be all grown up and hosting flavored vodka parties like mom and dad. i'm not sure if this is cause for a vodka party or not. but russ

between us right now have announced an agreement to team up to build a space station on the moon. although i should say the russians are calling the space station, for some reason the white house keeps referring to it as a golf resort/casino. [ laughter ] i guess russia, the reason they're doing this, because russia wants to be the first country to interfere with an election on the moon. [ laughter ] and i wish them well. i'm sure the russians love this. the president yesterday lashed out at facebook of all things for being anti-trump. which forced mark zuckerberg, the ceo of facebook, to defend his company. he said, every day i work to bring people together and build a community for everyone. and that's right, if this election has taught us anything, it's that facebook really brings people together. [ laughter ] zuckerberg did admit facebook does bear some responsibility for all the fake news that abetted the trump campaign during the election but he insists overall facebook gave ordinary people a voice to help millions of people learn how to vote. right? facebook helps democracy

water our lawns. [ laughter ] okay? between the russians and all our uncles, facebook is the most dangerous place on earth. president trump right now, as i'm sure you know, is in an ongoing fight with the nfl. he called for players who kneel during the national anthem to be suspended or fired. says the nfl should change their rules to prevent it from happening. insinuated that team owners aren't doing anything about it because they're scared. >> what prompted that in alabama? >> well, i have so many friends that are owners. and they're in a box. i've spoken to a couple of them. they say, we are in a situation where we have to do something. i think they're afraid of their players, you want to know the truth. i think it's disgraceful. >> jimmy: well, yeah, that is disgraceful. but obviously there's a racial subtext here, besides the fact that there are so many more important things for him to be worried about right now, there was a demonstration. i don't know if you saw this, right outside our studio, protesters staged what they called a die-in t

president a message. >> from the football field all the way to t fame, these anti-fascism protesters felt they had to show solidarity with nfl players. the protesters also held a die-in on trump's star, laying motionless on the pavement to draw attention. catching the eyes of curious passersbies who wondered what was going on. >> jimmy: mr. squarepants declined to comment. [ laughter ] i'm sure you know by now hugh hefner passed away yesterday at home at the playboy mansion. he was pronounced dead of natural causes. although they won't be able to rule out foul play because of all the dna evidence they found in the house. [ laughter ] it might take 20 years. i was thinking it last night. hugh hefner is probably the only person ever to be disappointed by heaven. [ laughter ] what's with all these harps? let's get some naked girls in here! hef was 91. interesting fact about hugh hefner. actually didn't lose his virginity until he was 78 years old, did you know

[ laughter ] mr. hefner was an advocate for racial equality, free speech, and equal rights. but mostly he'll be remembered for the boobs. i knew hugh hefner. of all his achievements, and there were many, maybe the greatest of all was he figured out a way to wear pajamas to work every day. [ laughter ] for that i really have to give him a lot of credit. [ cheers and applause ] our local cbs affiliates, our news crews are on hollywood boulevard. cbs was on hollywood bld when news broke about hugh hefner's star on the walk of fame. >> there are so many perspectives on hollywood boulevard and the walk of fame about his legacy as you take a look at his star. many people say, of course, he did so much for culture. he blazed trails [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's how i want to be remembered, too. with a banana, a puddle of jelly, and a hot dog sitting on the side -- like a fourth grader dropped his lunch box. this is interesting.

first-ever cover girl, marilyn monroe. this is where he will be interred. i guess the spot under her is already taken. so he decided he'd just be so the side. with hugh hefner gone, they're engaged in the very difficult job of naming his successor. and with more on that we join cnn live new from the playboy mansion. >> and we are still waiting for any sign from the mansion. hold on just a second. i think we see -- yes, it appears to be white smoke. this means the bunnies have chosen their new leader. wait, we see a figure emerging onto the balcony. and -- it's charlie sheen. charlie sheen is the new mayor of penistown. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i think we're in very good hands. times have changed a lot since every young man had a "playboy" under his mattress. we came up with a game to highlight

contestants are farther apart in age than hugh hefner of his girlfriends. it's a battle of young versus old. it's time to play "generation gap." [ cheers and applause ] cousin sal out on hollywood boulevard, how are you doing? >> sal: what's going on? >> jimmy: doing well, nothing's going on, we're doing the show in here, how about you? >> sal: yeah, we're going to take it out here, right? >> jimmy: great, let's meet our contestants. first our defending champion, he's lean, he's mean, he's 14, say hello to traverse. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: how are you doing? >> good, how are you? >> jimmy: traverse, do you think you have what it takes to win it all again? >> definitely. >> jimmy: did you ever look at a "playboy" magazine? >> no. >> jimmy: you did not? >> no. >> jimmy: let's see if he turns red. okay, he's not. traverse, tonight you will be going up against bella. welcome, bella, hello. [ cheers and applause ] >> hi. >> jimmy: bella, did you ever look at a "playboy" magazine? >> of course.

>> jimmy: bella, if you don't mind me asking, what is your age? >> 82. >> jimmy: 82 years old. 14 versus 82. that's why we call it "generation gap." bella, i know you're still -- you work at cantor's delli? >> i sure do. >> jimmy: i've seen you there, where the black and white cookies are? >> all over. >> jimmy: okay, veg. this is how the game works. i'm going to ask each of you a question from your opponent's generation or close to it. whoever gets the most answers right wins. does it sound good? >> yeah. >> jimmy: all right, traverse, you're defending your title, you get to go first. traverse what does wwii stand for? >> world war ii. >> jimmy: is that right, traverse. that's how it goes. now you get an idea how the game works. let's do one more question before we take a break. bella, which superhero did this actress play? see her on the screen. there she is. >> she looks asian.

>> jimmy: she is not asian. >> oh, okay. >> jimmy: she's israeli, actually. >> then it would have been superwoman. >> jimmy: superwoman is incorrect. do you know, traverse, can you steal and guess who the -- which superhero she played? >> that's gal gadot and she played wonder woman. >> jimmy: that is absolutely right. traverse has a strong lead. we're going to take a break. when we come back, we'll play more "generation gap" so stick around.

>> jimmy: welcome back. still to come, music from the xx. our next guest hasn't seen a single slow news day in two years. he is the anchor of "world news tonight with david muir," now the most watched network evening news in america. watch it weeknights on abc. please welcome david muir. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: i know this is a dumb thing. but it's always amazing to me that you go do the news, then you're here like after, like that anything else happens outside of that. >> we try to make sure, which hasn't been easy, to have a slow news night. >> jimmy: it's true, right? >> the way it's worked out is

i've been on your show lately. >> jimmy: oh, is that right. [ laughter ] let me make up for that tonight. if you're on my show, unless you're a guest, it's usually for not the best reasons. so that's probably good. >> i'll take it. let me say one thing about you being on the news lately. we live in a polarized country, a divided nation. people are going to agree and disagree with you and i knew you knew that going in. looking back people aren't going to remember the jokes you told here, no offense, but they will remember the bravery, that you stood up for your little guy and children's health care. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's very nice. and i appreciate it. but i think they're also going to remember "girls on trampolines." i'd like that to be my legacy as well. i like to balance -- >> these that one. >> jimmy: you were mentioning, talking about the news, do you find -- because for us sometimes we have the show all ready, and stephen colbert was here, he has theam

the whole show because things change so quickly. >> literally an hour before air. every single night. >> jimmy: why do you think that is? >> well, why do you think that is? [ laughter ] do you like that? how we just -- you should just wait until the news airs, i can give you all the material you need. honestly, we come in every morning and work in the newsroom, we have meetings, i don't know why. i do like the people i work with. the meeting at 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., is not the news cast we end up doing because the news is lightning speed and every day there's breaking news. it's hard to believe a year ago this week, the first debate between donald trump and hillary clinton. doesn't that feel like a decade ago? >> jimmy: it sure does. >> we've lived a lifetime. >> jimmy: that was a year ago? >> that was just a year ago. >> jimmy: oh my god, we're in for a long four years. [ laughter ] that is crazy. how do you decide -- how many story dozen you do in a night? >> we do quite a few. the first block is usually about 16, 17 minutes long. and it's no joke, we do scrap i

we're hammering out intros and the scripts from the correspondents and it's a team effort. the reporters and we have an amazing team that covered the campaign, now the administration. but eight or nine in-depth stories in the first block. then a second, third, and fourth block. and i always say that at the beginning of the show, in the last couple of weeks as you know, health care, north korea, natural disasters. now we have a debate over the nfl. it's sort of a lot to. >> it on americans' plate, i think. i feel for them at night watching. and i try to signal in some way we are in it together and we'll do it all again tomorrow night. >> jimmy: one thing we like as americans is to have a lot on our plate. [ laughter ] and then nothing at the end meal. >> that's right. >> jimmy: that's really what we're best at. >> it is. >> jimmy: so, okay. so you're doing -- how long have you been in news, in general? >> listen, for real -- 13 years old. >> jimmy: 13 years old? >> i began interning at the local

started carrying the tripod and ripping the scripts. and then landed -- that was my first job after college. >> jimmy: "world nuts tews toni is the number one network news show. how long has it been since abc was number one? >> hey i have no idea what you're talking about. 21 years since peter jennings. >> jimmy: who was your idol? >> was my idol, yeah. >> jimmy: this photograph was taken when you were how old? >> this is my first year on the job at abc. i was so proud to work with peter. you'd have to walk past this bus stop on the way in. i'll never forget it. they have a standby guy. when peter finishes, have a good evening, good night. he sits there. they call me down to the edit room. i'm the standby guy for peter if there's breaking news. they call me down. i'm watching this. you see him say, have a good evening, good night. he goes, i don't know why we did this, critiquing the show. you can hear the floor director michelle say who the standby guy

is. who? they say, david. david who? they start laughing. they wanted to put me in my place, he had no idea. without looking up he goes, he's the chap on the overnights, he's quite good. i still have that on loop in my office. [ laughter ] honestly it was an honor to walk in the door. peter jennings, diane sawyer, barbara walters, ted koppel. >> jimmy: sam son donaldson. >> amazing at the white house, and our team, like him all those years later they ask those tough questions. the first call from peter jennings in the field, i was covering a natural disaster, they said peter's on the line? i said, peter who? >> jimmy: you got him back. >> no. when i got on the phone i knew. >> jimmy: oh, i've seen him on the overnights, he's very good. [ laughter ] speaking of being in the field you were in florida during the hurricane. why were you there? isn't there a weatherman nobody likes you can send to those jobs [ laughter ] >> unfortunately we really lik

we've had a lot this year. >> jimmy: yeah. >> this reminds me of katrina. i was in the superdome. i remember the roof peeling off, families there with their glad garbage bags full of the belongings they could take ow their homes in time. katrina, right tax wilma. this year 15 with this succession of hurricanes. you mention irma. puerto rico, we had an amazing team there. one night in particular, we were headed into the keys, all of a sudden we see this barricade. they were stopping all these families who didn't know if their house was still standing, a lot of them had families still there in the keys, and they would not give. i thought, we can't get any further, pull the truck over, we'll do the newscast at this intersection. that night you could see the lights behind us. the anguish in the faces of the families. we stayed there overnight to get in the next day and go down and take that route with the families. >> jimmy: the govern ever's on television telling everyone, you must evacuate now. and you guys are head to headed into the hurricane. >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's a bad message. [ laughter ] >> it's a bad message to send,

>> jimmy: evacuate now! unless you're part of a network news team, then go right in there. >> yeah. i'm on to something now. isn't there a weather guy you don't like? maybe i've figured it out. isn't there an anchor we don't like? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: find out who's that young david muir eyeing your spot. [ applause ] send him out. it's very good to see you. congratulations on how well the show is doing.
